We gather the following particu-
 lars of the killing of Billy Brown
 and the capture of his brother from the Socorro Chieftain: Sheriff Rus sell received word that three deS-
 peradoes, Bill Brown, John Brown
 and Red Murphy, who escaped from the county jail at St. Johns, A. T., had been seen in Luna Valley, 125 miles west of Socorro. He 1mme- diately organized several posses and sent them out to capture the crim- inals, A few nights afterward two horses were stolen from Levi Bald wins stables at the Datils. MT. Baldwin sent Seth Woods and Jim Smith, two of his hands, to take up the trail and recapture, if possible, the stolen stock. They followed the trail nearly to Magdalena, where 1t was lost. But hearing that three men had been seen at La Jinsa ranch, they rode up to that point, where the trail was once more ta- ken up and followed to the Rio Grande, near La Joya. One of the boys came into Socorro and ac- quainted Sheriff Russell with what they had done, and he sent Deputy Sheriff w. R. Davis and F. H. Mitchell back to assist them. The party crossed the river and about five o'clock Saturday afternoon dis covered their men in acanon about eight miles south of Abo pass. Placing themselves in a position to surround the Browns as much as possible. Roy Davis, the leader of the posse, stood up and called out to them to surrender, as he had them surrounded and escape was impossible. The only reply they made to this demand was to spring to their feet and open fire. The compliment was promptly returned, and Bill Brown fell shot through the right lung. When his brother fell John Brown ceased firing, as did also the posse. Davis once more called to them to give up and said they would not be harmed. At this, John Brown replied, say ing: "You have shot Bill, and if you will let me give him drink of water I will surrender" The re- quest was granted and the posse walked up to the spot and disarmed John. Just as they reached there Bill Brown breathed his last. Red Murphy is the only one now at large and as several of the posse have not yet returned, it is sup posed that they are nowain pursuit. It is to be Loped they will be suc- cessful.

The number of cattle in the coun- try in proportion to the p ,pulation is decreasing, contrary to the gene ral idea. Twenty years ago the United States had S25 head of cat tie to each 1000 inhabitants. Now we have only 775 head. And yet it appears as if in the past twenty years cattle had increased more "a pidly than at any former period.

A COW, suffering from pleuro- pneumonia was killed near Lancas- ter, Pa., and one lobe of it's lung was found to weigh forty pounds The healthy lung of COW weighs only from q to 34 pounds. The usual weight of diseased lungs in cattle from pleuro-pneumonia is from sixteen to eighteen pounds but the surgeon who handled this case says he has seen cases in which they weighed seventy-fve pounds. -Ex

Two or three years ago range cattleman was occasionally met who was willing to admit that the days of the range cattle business in southern Colorado were rapidly drawing to a close. At that time a number began to make arrange ments accordingly. An exodus for the White River country, for north western New Mexico and other sec tions was begun; a goodly number began to reduce their herds, to grow feed and provide pasturage. Such
 as foresaw the changes now taking place can congratulate themselves upon being ready. Those who are occupying the open range on the

It is reported on good authority that interest in and efforts to for ward the Marquis de Mores scheme to start 9 refrigerator at San An tonic, have to a considerable ex- tent abated since the Houston pro- ject has been on foot. It seems that the cattlemen are of the opin- ion that they will accomplish more

 New York advices of the 9th in- stant, says the Stock Grower, say that P. D. Armour has returned to that city from his southern and western trip. MT. Armour is most enthusiastic over the evidences of prosperity everywhere seen in the west, and says that prices for every- thing are on an upward turn. The most significant statement made by this genius of the mercantile world, was that cattle will never be so cheap again as they have been the past eighteen months. The demand for beef during the coming pros porous days of the country will keep much ahead of the supply and will work a radical change in values which will be highly beneficial to the producers. Armour predicts that the Pacific coast will consume all the beef at good prices that can be raised in Arizona, California, Idaho, Nevada, Utah and Washing ton Territory. He reasons that the population is running very rapidly ahead of the capacity of the range country to grow beef, and thatwith the era of good times everywhere prevalent in this country and with people eating meat among the la boring classes who have, during the dull period only been fed with it once or twice a week, the times for the cattle producers will speedily improve.

ravaged by devouring insects.
Tarboro Southermer: The Farmers

Troy V1dette: The most of the

High Point Enterprise: A lot Of
